Reception
Film critic John O'Connor wrote that Fox was 'whipping up periodic two-hour spinoffs from a series that was considerably less than successful,' contrasting with the usual pattern of spinning off from successful network series. Allan Johnson wrote in the Chicago Tribune that 'this film is smaller and more personal than the last two, which featured grand-scale plots, but the movie was well-written and directed, and the cast has also become comfortable and likable, and the plot is involving.' Carole Horst of Variety wrote: 'Johnson’s script touches on religious and human themes. He’s stronger at raising issues about racism and child-rearing than plot: The last half-hour exposes some holes that get the gloss. Special effects look great and helmer Johnson’s pacing is perky.'
